p.4 #1 · So how many 20D brethren jumping to the 30?
IMHO upgrading from 20D to 30D would be bad use of money for little improvement, like upgrading from a 1D Mark II to a 1D Mark IIn. Use whatever savings you had planned for this upgrade to buy a better lens instead, it will help your photos more.

How about a different outlook.
With such incremental changes from the 20D to 30D what are the chances some of the features might creep into the 20D (officially or through hacked firmware)?
ISO in the viewfinder probably not, but 1/3 ISO stops and 3.5% spot meter maybe.
I also have to wonder if the smaller 20D buffer could be "fixed" with some electronic surgery swapping out ram chips.
I mean it is the same sensor and Digic II processor, most of the "upgrades" appear to be software or minor hardware changes at best.
My 20D is here to stay for several years (I've not begun to master its abilities), but the prospect of "tweaking" it does pique my interest.
